PhParAdapt/Simmetrix

The following page provides details for performing mesh adaptation using the PhParAdapt tool with Simmetrix routines.

Initial Notes to User

• The solution migration feature is currently broken and thus requires other means for transferring the solution to new meshes that are created from PhParAdapt (e.g. solution interpolation in Paraview)
• To date, the steps described herein have only been tried with the following restrictions:
  • Tetrahedral elements
    • Extruded element types apparently can be used but require removal of any extrusion constraints in the mesh. Below are some incomplete details regarding that process for reference.
  • Serial case
  • Geometry created using SimModeler7.0-190626

Removal of Extrusion Constraint

Riccardo has used a procedure in the past to remove the extrusion constraint from a mesh that enabled adaptation to be performed on extrusion-type elements.
